 +===== WeeChat IRC Client =====
 +
 +WeeChat (Wee Enhanced Environment for Chat) makes for a decent IRC client alternative to the stock irc.js client.
 +
 +First, install Weechat under Debian type:
 +
 +  $ sudo apt-get install weechat
 +  
 +add WeeChat as an external program similar to Links2 
 +( the script's bbs.exec('whatever', <args>); are the same to redirect i/o so no need to add it in SCFG )
 +
 +add a cmdkey ... end_cmd entry in your command shell similar to links2 above, if desired.
 +
 +=== example weechat js ===
 +
 +Weechat looks for a configuration file in /home/<user>/.weechat/irc.conf to get the username/channel/etc information
 +so wee need to setup a new config for each user/connection, to do this we apply some hackery:
 +
 +<code>
 +load("sbbsdefs.js");
 +
 +var enable;
 +var server;
 +var port;
 +var chan;
 +var lusr = user.alias;
 +
 +var quit_msg = system.name+' - WeeChat 1.6 Linux'; // todo random quit messages
 +
 +var irc = load("modopts.js", "weechat");
 +
 +if(irc.enabled == undefined) enabled = true;
 +    else enabled = irc.enabled;
 +if(irc.chan === undefined) chan = '#synchronet';
 +    else chan = irc.chan;
 +if(irc.server === undefined) servers = 'irc.synchro.net';
 +    else server = irc.servers;
 +
 +var infile = system.ctrl_dir+'irc-weechat.conf';
 +var outfile = system.ctrl_dir+'irc-weechat.tmp';
 +var weechat = '/home/sbbs/.weechat/irc.conf';
 +var wc_bup = '/home/sbbs/.weechat/irc-'+strftime("%Y-%m%d_%H%M", time())+'.conf';
 +var save_prefs = system.data_dir+'wc-prefs.'+user.number;
 +
 +if(!file_exists(weechat) || !enabled) {
 +        if(!enabled) {
 +            writeln('\r\n\r\n\1rWeechat is disabled\r\n\r\n');
